The primary purpose of the handbrake in Toyota land cruiser 2014 for sale is to lock the vehicle when it is parked. Especially in sloping situations, the parking brake proves to be fundamental because it prevents the car from descending without control. The handbrake is used by less experienced drivers even in driving situations when there is an uphill traffic situation and it is still not possible.
Behind The Handbrake
The mechanism behind the handbrake is very elementary such as by raising the lever, steel ropes are connected to the jaws with the rear wheels. The great defect of the hand parking brake is that when the rope hooked to the jaws loosens. In such a case, the car must be brought periodically to the mechanic to tighten the cable and bring the handbrake back to traditional efficiency. The birth of the electric handbrake was partly due to this reason, but in the models where the rope remained, obviously, nothing was solved. Indeed, the situation has even worsened: in periods of great cold the handbrake is locked and no longer responds to the solicitations of the motor. To solve the problem, the intervention of specialized technicians is required. The expert assistance is also necessary when you start Toyota land cruiser 2014 review at used car exporters’ places.
On The Routes
According to the rule, the insertion of the hand brake when parked is always mandatory, even on flat paths, on inclined routes it is also mandatory to engage the gear opposite to the direction of descent and to steer the wheels completely in the opposite direction to the center of the Street. The uphill start should take place using the hand brake and not the accelerator. Better to avoid bad habits, such as using the accelerator instead of the clutch, which can shorten the life of the car. In addition, before pay the Toyota land cruiser 2014 price, a buyer needs to know that some cars with a manual gearbox are equipped with an electronic system called Hill Holder and designed to facilitate hill starts. The sensors of this instrument when the vehicle is stationary and detect a slope prevent it from reversing, blocking the brakes to then be released only when the vehicle starts moving again.Â
In The Situations
While, almost all electronic hand brakes have included the Hill Holder function, which keeps the car stationary in traffic situations without having to press the brake. If, for example, you have to stop at a traffic light in an uphill road, just press the brake pedal only when the vehicle is stopped, the Hill Holder system will hold the car in place. Some electronic handbrakes borrow the traditional mechanism such as by pressing the button, the usual ropes that block the rear wheels with the usual jaws are activated. The only difference is a motor, which replaces the movement of the lever. Other electronic hand brakes, on the other hand, do without ropes and mount the motors directly at the jaws on the driving wheels. Each motor, once the handbrake is activated, pushes the jaw to block the wheels. Some models even have quad motors, one per wheel, and provide greater safety.Â
